The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation reports Justin Franks was missing during an inmate count at the prison’s minimum support facility around 9 p.m. He was last seen around 7 p.m.

The 27-year-old inmate was serving a sentence for first-degree burglary. He was meant to be released in June 2019.

Franks is a white male who stands at 5 feet 10 inches tall and is 143 pounds, according to CDCR. He has brown eyes and short, black hair. He was wearing a light blue shirt and blue pants with the words “CDCR Prisoner” on them.

Let's see, neck tattoo.... Head shaven, dressed in an orange jumpsuit that says "prisoner" on back..... Should not be hard to spot so I bet "girlfriend" came and got him in her car. Gives a new meaning to the song "I'll be home for Christmas". I hope he enjoys his few days off, he just added a couple more years to his sentence and not in the "easy house" this next time.
